A 33-year-old woman in Halifax, N.S. allegedly posed as a man from Texas to scam a St. Thomas, Ont. woman out of over $150,000.
St. Thomas police say they initially received a report in August 2018 from two brothers whose mother had recently died.
Work by the force's computer forensic analyst along with records warrants uncovered that the woman may have fallen victim to a romance scam with an individual claiming to be a man from Texas. Investigators say suspicious iTunes purchases and cash transfers to a bank account in Halifax helped police locate the suspect.
